Tower Farming
Tower Farming 4
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLone was sleeping on his green onion nest on the rock as he pulled out his watch. “10 minutes until it's 5AM. I better start making breakfast after washing my face.” He said as he went to the pond to clean his face as he turned around to see his crops growing in front of him and some sprouts of the peaches and 2 fully grown bushes. “Green onions harvest, complete. Cherry tomatoes & sweet potatoes watered and growing, check. Blueberry bushes have grown and leaves will soon grow and peaches showing sprouts. All is good.” Said Lone proudly as he remembered his time here.
FLASHBACK
Lone was making some torches out of green onions with Hubby. “If I was a pony, then having green onions would be Cutie Mark.” He said as he gagged at that thought of being a pony.
“PPI?” Said Hubby as Lone looked at him.
“It’s a race from my home. An annoying race that always gets good fortunes happen to them while others suffer.” He said in an angry tone “Wish they just stop making others follow their ways.” He said as he tightened his wrap to his makeshift torch. He lit the torch as he went to the pond. “The Pond here has a dark area that not even the sunlight can reach. So we’ll use this torch to check it out. To see if it's deep enough to be connected to another area for me to escape out of this hole.” He said as he used it to illuminate the pond to see it wasn’t deep or connected to another water source. “Great…” He said as saw bubbles in the pond. “Uh?”
*SPLASH*
Something burst out of the water as Lone dodge it to see a big fish that tried to bite his hand off. Lone saw it flopping on the ground. “A fish?” He said as he looked at the torch “I’m guessing the light of the torch got their attention.” The fish was pierced with a sharp stick that the bunnies got for him as it was being cooked near a fire and had green onions wrapped around it to give the fish onion seasoning. Lone removed the wrap and took a bite out of it and grinned. “TASTY! I never thought fish would taste this good!” Said Lone happily.
“PPI…” Said both Hubby and Wifey while drooling which got Lone’s attention.
“Wait… you eat meat?” Asked Lone, they nodded. “Oh right… you’re not like the rabbits where I’m from.”
END OF FLASHBACK
“After eating some delicious meat, I learned some things about the tower. The Blue Moon appeared again and figured out it appears after every 30 days (Thanks to Grandpa’s Watch). I’ll have to be careful since I learned hiding in the darkness prevents me from going unconscious and the crops grew faster as the spots where the blueberries I planted grew faster as its branches grow because of the light of the Blue Moon.” Lone was cooking 3 of the fish he caught. “60 days have passed, and the crops have been growing healthier.”
Lone looked at the fish to make sure they’re cooked.
“PPI…” Said Hubby as Lone turned to her “Huh? Oh, morning Hubby Bunny!” He said, Hubby was tired and exhausted.
“PPI-PI!!!” Yelled 7 young voices as 7 small yellow bunnies came running towards Lone as he gave a grin as the 7 bunnies jumped on Lone as he laughed.

“Hey little ones.” Said Lone happily as they cuddled.
“PPI-PI!”
“Oh yeah… I forgot. Apparently, Hubby & Wifey had a fluffle. 7 baby bunnies were born, and they see me as their uncle… How embarrassing. Unfortunately… since the bunnies don’t have a difference in their appearance, I can’t tell which is which nor if they have names.”
Lone had them riding on his lower half as Hubby & Wifey came looking exhausted “Whoa… you two look awful. I’ll handle the kids while you eat some fish.” Said Lone.
“PPI…”
“PPI…”
Lone stood up as Hubby & Wifey ate some fish as Lone trot to his crops to see flowers growing where the cherry tomato sprouts and looked at it. “The books at the old library said that flowers on plants that growing food need pollination. Insects do that but since there isn’t any, we’ll have to do it without bees.” He said as he used a stick to shake the flowers as it releases some pollen. As he did the last of the flowers, he cracked his upper back “Ugh… having 2 backs is such a pain when it’s the upper part of the body.” He said in annoyance “It would be easier for a bee to do this.” He said as he saw the babies were sniffing the flowers as one sneezed itself from it as Lone caught him from hurting itself. “Careful, don’t breath in the pollen.” He said as he noticed some green cherry tomatoes growing on the sprouts and small green berries on the blueberry bush. “YES!” He yelled as he picked up some of the babies “We've got some fruits!” He said happily.
LATER THAT DAY (AUTHOR’S NOTE: I WOULD HAVE SAID NIGHT BUT IN THE TOWER IS DAYLIGHT 24/7)
Lone put out his fire to leave a small ember as he covered the ember with rocks to hide the light and covered himself in green onion leaves. “This better work.” Said Lone as Hubby appeared to him.
“PPI.” Lone turned to see Wifey was leading her babies back home.
“I hope you all don’t let the babies in the Blue Moon Light. I nearly got drained but I don’t want anything bad to happen to them.” Said Lone as he looked at his watch. “4 minutes until it happens. Be safe.” He said.
“PPI.” Said Hubby as he ran inside as Lone went into the shadows as everything became dark. Lone just waited despite the roars of the monsters he was forced to hear, he looked at the moonlight and felt his horns on his head. “Absorbing that light made my horn grow into what Lord Tirek had when he was young.” Lone said to himself “If I absorb more moonlight, I’ll be too big for the hole and be too big a target.” Lone sighed as he felt a tremble “?” Lone looked up to witness something he had never seen in his life that wasn’t a picture in a book. “A… a… bear…” Said Lone “It looks larger than an Ursa Major…” He said as the bear was drooling and looking around as he kept silent. (“Must not make a sound. If it sees me, it will squish me to death and that bear will destroy an Ursa Major.”) The bear looked around, snarled and roared as it went to the east to attack something as Lone watched it go away. Lone let out a sigh of relief as he fainted.
FLASHBACK, 5 YEARS AGO
Back in the land of centaurs & gargoyles, Lone was a child as he was hiding behind a rock while holding a long stick with a broken spearhead tied to it. “I better have something come to me or those vultures will be my replacement lunch.” He said in anger as he witnessed a large salamander crawling towards his line to attack. “Closer… Closer…” said Lone quietly as he crawl to his trap and fell into pit-hole with sharpen rocks as it screech in pain
*SCREECHING IN PAIN*
*WAR CRY* Lone came out of hiding and stabbed the creature in the neck as it stopped moving. “Lunch at last.” He said as he pulled the corpse from the pit and started a fire. Lone was roasting his lunch over an open fire as he spun it to make sure all the sides were cooked. “Finally… 2 days without something to eat…” He said as he noticed an old centaur wearing a cloak marching towards him. Lone grabbed his spear and pointed at him “BACK OFF OLD MEAT!!! THIS IS MINE!!!” The centaur in the cloak looked disgusted.
“What a sorry excuse of a centaur.” He said as Lone snarled at him “Back in my day, we were great warriors and powerful creatures.” Lone snarled.
“Those days are gone after Scorpan became our king.” Spoke Lone as the cloaked centaur looked at him in shock.
“Scorpan? What has he done? I demand to know!” He said as Lone narrowed his eyes
“What’s it to you? Who in Tartarus are you?” Said Lone as the cloaked centaur removed his hood to reveal his identity.

“I am Lord Tirek.” He said as Lone looked horrified.
“Lord Tirek… Son of Former King Vorak and brother to the Tyrannical King Scorpan?” Said Lone as Tirek looked confused.
“Tyrannical? Scorpan?” Said Tirek as he laughed at Lone. “My brother is anything but tyrannical.” Lone looked at Tirek as he sighed.
“You don’t know what has happened to our land, do you?” Said Lone sadly, which aggravated Lord Tirek.
“TELL ME NOW!!!” He roared at Lone who looked around and shushed him.
“Quiet… we don’t want to alert the predators or his guards.” Said Lone. “Follow me.” Lone trot with his dinner as Lord Tirek followed him to an abandoned library. Lord Tirek noticed a statue standing tall to see it was his father.
“Father…” He said quietly as they went in to see a large fire as Lone ate his lunch.
“This land… where you once called home is nothing but a war zone.” Said Lone “It happened when you were banished to Tartarus. Scorpan became king and under his father's guidance, he changed for the worse.” Said Lone while Tirek punched the ground.
“I knew it was a waste of time to be respected by that centaur.” Said Tirek.
“Well… after 5 years under Scorpan’s rule, he slowly became like his father. He hated magic and forbid it like it was a plague, but this was before Vorak’s death.” Said Lone.
“And my mother? Queen Hayden?” Asked Tirek as Lone shrugged his shoulders.
“Don’t know? She disappeared after your father declared Scorpan, king. Maybe she abandoned her husband and child after what they became.” Said Lone, while Tirek clutched his hands into fists as he looked down.
“Mother…”
“Stories about Queen Hayden were passed down from generation-to-generation. She lost any love for King Vorak and Scorpan after you were banished. I won’t blame her, I mean what kind of mother would still love her husband who was grateful that his own son was banished and make one of his sons give up on his brother?” Said Lone, which made Tirek look shocked.
“My mother… abandon Scorpan?” He said “She said she’ll always love us…”
“Well what would a parent do when their child who they hope to grow up wise turned into a spitting image of her husband and cannot change his mind? Very slim if you ask me.” Tirek looked out to see the statue and snarled.
“You were the worst father I had.” Spoke Tirek as his horns formed a black magic sphere as he blasted the statue. Lone was shocked and amazed.
“Was that magic?!” Asked Lone “It’s… wonderful…” He said happily as Tirek looked at him “Can you use it to blast your brother’s head off?” Said Lone, which made Tirek flinch.
“I thought you would respect him?”
“Respect is earned, not given. Also after Scorpan bound all centaurs & gargoyles with mystical runes to home, only those stupid enough to give their loyalty to him is what caused the war. Some obey him like mindless fools while others like me want freedom.” Said Lone as he showed his flank to show some runes. “I don’t know what kind of runes he used to trapped his and your races to these lands.” Explained Lone which Tirek examined them as snarled.
“That self-proclaimed magic hating father of mine!” Yelled Tirek “He never used magic but got my obedient brother of mine to do his dirty work.” He said as Lone looked at him “I cannot remove the runes off of you, but I do know how to alter them.” He said as Lone looked at him with hope.
“HOW?!” He yelled as Tirek grabbed a rusty dagger and cut his hand to bleed “What are you doing?!” Yelled Lone in confusion.
“To alter these runes, you need a drop of blood from a family member of the caster.” Said Tirek as he rearranged the runes “There… I made it possible for you to go a hundred feet from our homeland.” Said Tirek as Lone snarled.
“What?! Why 100?!” He yelled,
“Be grateful that I managed to alter it at least!” Said Tirek as Lone sighed.
“What are you going to do now?” Asked Lone “Murder your brother to claim the throne?” He asked which Tirek snarled.
“Not when I am weak.” Said Tirek “I need magic and I regain the magic by absorbing it from the ponies and making them suffer by sending me to Tartarus…” He said as Lone looked at him and kneel to him.
“I vow to follow you when you reclaim the throne.” Said Lone “Will you promise to give our land life that your father failed to promise both races?” He asked as Tirek smirked.
“I promise you as a true centaur.”
“Also, a request.” Asked Lone which made Tirek raise his brow. “Will you train me in magic? Along with all the other centaurs and gargoyles that your brother and father imprison?”
“WHAT?!” He yelled as Lone showed his stubs of horns as he tried to focus and create a small ball of magic as it vanished.
“Ugh… it’s hard to use focus magic in a dead land.” Said Lone as Tirek looked at in shock “After when you were locked in Tartarus, your father made a decree that all centaurs & gargoyles who have a spark of magic to be imprisoned for life and your brother is still doing your father’s decree.” Tirek was horrified to hear what Lone said to him and snarled.
“I never thought my brother would do this to our races.” Said Tirek as he looked at Lone. “Survive as I get my revenge.” He said as Lone watched Lord Tirek leave.
“Please… avenge us my lord.” Said Lone with tears in his eyes. “Avenge us all…”
END OF FLASHBACK
“Avenge us…” Said Lone in his sleep as the Baby Bunnies were trying to wake him up.
“PPI-PI…” They all said as Hubby went to Lone and smacked him in the face.
“PPI.” He said as Lone got up.
“UGH!” Lone got up quickly as the babies went flying but landed okay “AAAAHHHH!!!” Yelled Lone got up and looked around to see the bunny family. “W… what happened?” Wondered Lone as he looked at the bunnies “What happened during the Blue Moon?” He said as he looked up to see sunny skies “It’s over…”
“PPI!” Said Hubby as Lone shuddered in fear.
“PPI?” Said the Bunnies.
“Sorry… my entire body… hurts…” He said as he nearly fell but his arms stopped him from hitting the ground. “Ugh… that bear still frightens me.
“PPI?” Said the bunnies as Lone tried to get back up but couldn’t
“PPI-PPI” Said Wifey as she pointed at the fire as Lone crawled to the fire as Hubby and Wifey made a blanket out of green onions as they covered Lone who was warming up near the fire while the babies were sleeping with him to calm Lone down. “PPI.” Said Wifey as she handed a grilled fish to Lone.
“Thank you.” Said Lone as he began eating the fish. Hubby was patting Lone’s back while the babies were relaxing around Lone and lower half. (“That bear… it was too big for the hole. I was lucky but I can’t believe that it will happen again.”) Thought Lone as he eat the fish until it’s all bones and fish head.
“PPI!” Yelled Hubby as Lone turned to him.
“Huh?” He said as he noticed a blue cherry tomato that was sparkling and 3 blueberries that were sparkling as well. “A blue cherry tomato and sparkling blueberries?” Lone was amazed by the sparkling fruits that were bigger than the others. “How did a cherry tomato turn blue?” Asked Lone in curiosity as he grabbed the fruits “Are these ripe?” Lone said as he picked them for a flat board appeared before his face.
YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE QUEST TO HARVEST FRUITS CONTAINING THE ENERGY OF THE BLUE MOON.
“What the?! What is this?” Said Lone as another flat board appeared.
YOUR AMAZING ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE ATTRACTED THE ATTENTION OF THE TOWER ADMINISTRATOR.
THE TOWER ADMINISTRATOR IS KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU.
THE TOWER ADMINISTRATOR IS NOT HAPPY.
Lone blinked as he turned to Hubby and Wifey “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” He asked the couple who turned to Lone and tilted their heads.
“?”
THE TOWER ADMINISTRATOR HAS DISCOVERED YOU AREN’T A DULY INVITED GUEST.
THE TOWER ADMINISTRATOR WANTS TO HIDE ITS BLUNDER.
Lone blinked as his eye twitched “Blunder… BLUNDER?!” Roared Lone “Are you saying that entering that portal here was a mistake!?” Lone’s horns were glowing a black aura “I’VE BEEN LIVING HERE FOR 60 DAYS AND YOU’RE SAYING YOU WANT TO HIDE YOUR MISTAKE?!” He yelled angrily “SEND ME HOME! NOW!!!”
THE TOWER ADMINISTRATOR IS THINKING IF IT SHOULD KILL YOU TO ERASE THE EVIDENCE.
Lone’s eyes widened and grabbed the plate. “I COMPLETED A QUEST AND INSTEAD OF REWARDING ME, YOU’RE PLANNING TO KILL ME?! YOU ARE A TYRANT!!!” He roared in rage.
LOCATION: A TOWER FAR FROM THE AREA
The glowing indigo eyes flinch hearing that “TYRANT!?” The eyes grabbed a book from the shelf and flipped through the pages to see what it was “It is unacceptable for being called a tyrant for a Tower Administrator. It shows that you are misusing your authority as Tower Administrator.” The eyes looked scared “If my family knew that if I did that… I’m screwed!” She said as she thought of a way and realized something she could do. “That’s it!”
LONE’S HOLE
Lone was looking at the screen.
…
“Uh… are you there?” Asked Lone.
THE TOWER ADMINISTRATOR IS AWAKENING YOU.
“?!” Glowing blue magic went around Lone as it entered him as the bunnies ran away from Lone. “Awakening… does that mean… I’m awakened by the tower…” Said Lone as he smiled “What is my job? Swordsman? Hunter? I barely can use magic, so wizard isn’t possible. What is my job?!” He yelled in excitement.
THE TOWER ADMINISTRATOR IS ASSIGNING YOU A JOB.
Lone’s eyes widened in curiosity.
You’ve become a Tower Farmer (Rank: F)
Lone stood there as the bunnies came back, looking at Lone “PPI…” They said
“Tower Farmer…?”
Due to your job, you will never become ill.
Due to your job, you will be a close friend to nature.
Due to your job, you will gain EXP when harvesting crops.
“A Farmer…” Said Lone “Well… that never lies pony is an apple farmer… so it can be possible to be strong.” He said to himself and remembered what he said and failed “Status Window?” A plate appeared before him showing something he never knew.

“I’m sorry for that. I was just awakened by the Tower Administrator.” He said while Hubby & Wifey’s ears went up “I’m a Tower Farmer.” He said as he looked at his harvest.

“Whoa… Are these… those items that the awakened servants of Scorpan talked about?” Said Lone.
“PPI?” Said Hubby as Lone looked at them.
“These will boost your magic by a little bit.” He said as the bunnies clapped for him. The glowing eyes watched him through the orb as she stared at the fruit.
“I want to have some… but I need to give him an offer he can’t refuse.” Said the eyes. Lone ran around with the bunnies on his other back as he was cheering.
“We’ve come so far! Thanks to you all!” Cheered Lone as 2 screens appeared “Huh?”

*STOMACH GROWL*
“Who’s hungry?” Asked Lone which the bunnies cheered as he trotted to the pond. “I wonder how Aro is doing?”
CANTERLOT CASTLE, 1 MONTH EARLIER
“(CHANTING) BURN! BURN! BURN!” Yelled Aro along with the other orphans as they had Thorax tied up to a pole in chains that they stood him with handmade dummies set on fire.
“HELP!!!” Screamed Thorax as Twilight and the others tried to save him.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Screamed Twilight.
Author's Note
Oh boy... what did Thorax said to make those orphan centaurs & gargoyles angry enough to burn him on a stake? Anyway here are Lone's stats and a new change to the Rabbit Family.
Lone's Stats: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AgKB-v3f46engYQpngXVpPskjGsLFQ?e=JVhGJC
Bunny Family: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AgKB-v3f46engYQrTOeOx1jrXUx12Q?e=X2mygA
Also if you want to know why their are 2 numbers next to Lone's Magic stat is this.
That's the maximum amount of magic that Lone has. the reason his actual magic is low is due to Scorpan and his territory. Do you remember how Chrysalis' throne nullified all but Changeling Magic? Well... instead of one or two races' magic, Scorpan prevented the magic of all races native to his land. So when the Tower Administrator awakened Lone, he can use magic but it will take a lot of time or certain crops of his to restore all his magic.
Leave a comment and have a nice day.
